This was the shocking moment rugby star Gavin Henson was knocked to the floor in an alleged row with a team-mate.

CCTV footage appears to show Henson, 31, get punched at the Pig and Fiddle pub in Bath on Wednesday night.

Henson, wearing a white t-shirt, can be seen crashing to the floor after being struck with a single blow.

The former Wales international joined Bath last month having played for relegated London Welsh 11 times last season.

The club said today that they are investigating the incident.

The statement read: "Bath Rugby can confirm there was a minor incident in the city centre on Wednesday night involving a few members of the playing squad.

"The club are investigating the matter as a priority and will only make a statement when further information is available."

Avon and Somerset Police have confirmed they received a call reporting "aggressive behaviour" that night but while the caller was on the line the group left the pub and so officers were not required to attend.

Consequently no offences are being investigated.

The Pig and Fiddle has declined to comment on the matter while Henson's representatives could not be contacted earlier today.

Bath are 31-year-old Henson's fifth club in the space of two years as he seeks to revive a career that promised much in his youth.

The fly-half or centre has won two Grand Slams but has not represented his country since winning the last of his 33 caps in 2011.

Addressing the call received by Avon and Somerset Police reporting an alleged incident, a force spokesman said: "We had a phone call reporting a disturbance but while the people were on the phone to us they cancelled police involvement and said the problem was over.

"There was no other police involvement, apart from the initial call that was made to us."

The spokesman confirmed that police were not investigating the incident.

"We took the call and people said the problem was over and they didn't require us, so we didn't attend," he added.

Henson's talent has never been in doubt, with his reliable goal-kicking and creative flair allied to strong defence.

But he has often been a controversial figure away from the pitch, and took a lengthy sabbatical from rugby in 2009 and 2010 to appear on numerous reality television shows.

He was suspended for two weeks by French side Toulon after an alleged fight with team-mates and a spell with Cardiff Blues was cut short after a drunken incident on an aeroplane.

Henson issued a grovelling apology for his rowdy behaviour on the plane after throwing ice cubes and abusing passengers and staff.
